Abstract:
Instantaneous and time averaged flame temperatures T , surface emissive power SEP and time averaged irradiances E of di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) pool fires with d=1.12 and 3.4m are investigated experimentally and by CFD simulation. Predicted centerline temperature profiles for d=1.12m are in good agreement with the experimental emission temperature profiles for x/d>0.9. For d=3.4m the CFD predicted maximum centerline temperature at x/d=1.4 is 1440 K whereas the emission temperature experimentally determined from thermograms at x/d approximately 1.3 is 1560 K. The predicted surface emissive power for d=1.12m is 115 kW/m(2) in comparison to the measured surface emissive power of 130 kW/m(2) whereas for d=3.4m these values are 180 and 250 kW/m(2). The predicted distance dependent irradiances agree well with the measured irradiances.
